Can anyone identify this #melody? It's from Frank Converse's Analytical #Banjo Method from 1886. He had a bad habit of not always including the original composers' names with his banjo arrangements.

While doing research for my next banjo book, I came across these ads from 1894. Musical cats! Those were the days.

Delila really hates her new heated bed. 0/10. Would not recommend.

From "The Banjoist" by Frank B. Converse, 1871. They split that bar right in half for the 1st and 2nd endings. 😭

Which tune is it though?

Four essays into this. I’m really enjoying it so far! Inspirational.
